Drawing Boot Camp

Here's a picture of our upside down contour line copies of one of Picasso's works.  These were done by my sixth graders.  My seventh graders each got 2 tiny squares to make bigger and then we put together a picture of...........Justin Bieber.

Some new work is up!



From delicious clay sandwiches to bobble heads we do it all and have fun at the same time.  I'm so proud of what my students have made so far this year.  Also check out the Art Awards we made for the top 17 art students this year.
